Defending her post Delhi assembly polls statement - "It is not my defeat, it is a defeat of the BJP" - former chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi today clarified that she said so because she had not failed herself in person.

The BJP today chose a leader out of its three lawmakers in the Delhi assembly and gave their hopelessly outnumbered state a new descriptor. "They are our Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh," quipped the party's Prabhat Jha.

An article in the Organiser, the mouthpiece of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, has attributed the BJP's colossal loss in the Delhi elections to a "defensive" campaign and criticised the last-minute decision to field Kiran Bedi against Arvind Kejriwal, who is now chief minister.

Days after her bid for Chief Minister of Delhi was firmly demolished by Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi has declared "Am relieved my parents were not alive to hear the foul words hurled at me" during the campaign that ended with her party, the BJP, getting just three of Delhi's 70 seats. Mr Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party or AAP landed the other 67.

Ahead of his first working day as Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal tweeted today that he is feeling better after fighting a fever for a few days which included his huge oath-taking ceremony on Saturday at a public park in Delhi.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will not hold any ministry directly, but plans a powerful Chief Minister's Office as the nerve-centre of the new state government, not unlike the Prime Minister's Office in the Narendra Modi government.

In what could be the first sticking point between the Centre and Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government, the Aam Aadmi Party chief is keen to induct whistleblower Sanjiv Chaturvedi as Delhi's top anti-corruption officer, sources have told NDTV.

When Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal took oath as Delhi Chief Minister at Ramlila Maidan on Saturday, the crowd was hanging on to every word he said in his first speech. The popular chief minister wasted no time in striking a populist note saying, "Do you like it when a minister blocks a road... and the car's siren beeps? We want to end VIP culture."

Buoyed by its spectacular victory in Delhi Assembly polls, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is now planning to make itself a significant political force in at least four major states in the next five years, without entering into any "arrangements of convenience" with any regional party.

From being a member of the Aam Aadmi Party's minority wing to securing a cabinet berth, Asim Ahmed Khan is known as the 'giant-killer' for defeating five-time MLA Shoaib Iqbal in Matia Mahal assembly constituency.

An architect by qualification, softspoken Satyendar Jain has been given the charge of key Health and Power departments in the new Aam Aadmi Party government, a reward for his loyalty to party chief Arvind Kejriwal.
